Accidentally spilled red hibiscus and passion fruit tea down my white laminated kitchen cabinet. I have tried bleach and Ajax. Nothing happened. Any suggestions. Thanks Angela

    Some have suggested 7th Generation stain remover and had luck with that.

    Another thought would be a paste of baling soda + water, leave it on for 5 min to soak in, use a soft plastic bristled brush, like a tooth brush to gently scrub.

    Or give nail polish remover on a cotton ball-for this use in a small area to see if it works at all.

    Best to you.

    Try a small amount of vinegar and water. I've had luck with that! I've also had luck with a magic eraser!

    You say you used bleach but I always used clorox cleanup on our white laminate countertops to remove coffee stains, wine etc. Spray it on, let it set for a min. It always worked.

  • Try Magic Eraser.

  • Make a paste with baking soda and water. You can use a damp sponge or a soft-bristled toothbrush to apply the paste to the stains, scrubbing gently as you go. Leave the paste on the cabinets for a few minutes, and then wipe it off with a clean sponge.

    I think this is an excellent application for a magic eraser.

    Thanks DIYers. Nothing worked. Guess I’ll call the manufacturer to see if the have a solution. If not maybe they can make me a new drawer front. Thanks for helping.

    You have probably experienced it before that whenever you accidentally spill a drink over your clothes, it leaves some stains behind. Sometimes, those stains are lighter and easy to remove whereas sometimes those stains are difficult to remove.

    This is a very interesting question, because I once faced such a problem and it was quite difficult to fix it. I want to note that you contacted the right address and I hope that the information that I write will help you. I want to make it easier for you and say that you can easily find an article on the Internet ( how to remove mio stain ), but not all of them will be are really helpful to you and help you fix the problem.

    Upon discovering the red stain, it's important to act as quickly as possible before the stain sets into the carpet fibers. Use a few clean paper towels to soak up any red stain.

    The best way to clean a tea stain from a worktop is to use the same mix of bicarbonate of soda and water you would use for mugs and teaspoons. You can also try using half a lemon dipped in salt on laminate or wooden worktops.

    Remove stains with a paste made from baking soda and water.

    Peroxide or Clorex will also take the stains out.
